Formulas and Calculations

Can anyone direct me to a page for correct formulas for converting

MP
RP
Spells
Spell Crit
SA Dmg?

MP, RP, Spell Power: multiply damage by (100 + Power) / 100

Spell crit damage: multiply normal damage by (200 + spellcrit damage %) / 100

Sneak attack damage:
either: (100 + 1.5*Power) / 100
or: 1.5 * (100 + Power) / 100

Thanks, I have been doing it this way, except for spell crit, but I have been doing something similar, but I have been told on occassion that I am wrong. Just not the type to argue or criticize back without evidence.

Those give very different results.

I would assume it's the first one since the second one would increase sneak attack damage even if you had 0 melee power. (At which point you may as well just increase the damage to begin with rather than bothering with a multiplier after the fact.)

Indeed. Not to be too nerdy, but you can easily verify with the distributive property.

IG testing apparently shows that this is how it works, the counterintuitive way.

Check the SA king (a mechanic) thread for more details.

Um, no.

If it was distributing the 100 would also be divided by 1.5 to move it out. You left it at 100, so the gain was 50 over the previous, even with 0 power.
